the latest cnn poll of polls has romney at 48%, president obama at 47%. essentially a dead heat within that tight margin of error. but a tropical storm, now a hurricane, is headed towards the key battleground states on the east coast. campaign events have already been canceled. travel could be delayed, too. and weather news could trump campaign speeches. cnn's contributor ryan and errol join me from new york. it's difficult to put on attack ads, while people are suffering, while people are dying, while people are struggling with the storm. how are these campaigns switching up their game plans right now? >> i think it's very hard to say. i think it's a wait-and-see attitude. partly because the last few days are crucially important. so the net effect is that both campaigns are having to suspend their activities. i think the underlying dynamic of the campaign will continue to prevail. i don't think there's any obvious strategic shift. because again, the situation is still unfolding. >> errol, do you agree? >> yes, with one exception, the president unlike his

this is a change over the one-point lead romney enjoyed there in a similar poll last week. what we want to hear driktly from you in the voters in the state of virginia, so we sent cnn political contributor john avalon packing, and he hit the road on board the express to ask college students not just who they're voting for, but why. >> coming from home where i was raised by a single dad, i mean, he in the last three years that i have gone to college has apologized to me over and over again just for what a mess the economy has become, and he takes it very personally, and he says i'm sorry that you have such a mess to clean up. >> my opinion is the older folks beyond us they didn't do their job. they didn't manage the economy. they didn't manage things. they just spent, spent, spent. they didn't plan for us, and now we have to clean up the mess that they made, and i really believe that in the next ten, 15 years there's going to be a bunch of younger folks running for office to clean up the mess that was made. >> i think that you also see the older generation -- i think they al

and a poll that said mitt romney up by three. and romney is here this afternoon . president here tomorrow. i think they both believe the state is in play and nine little electorial votes can make the difference. >> if you are mitt romney and fear you may not take ohio . you know this better thana i they are all over the maps. some polls have it within the margin of error and if not for the president. not all but many. can you cobble together a series of other states like colorado that could make up for that? >> absolutely. obviously he's still believes in ohio and you are right. i think there is going to be an examination of polling if romney wins and if he wins ohio hat is as newt said a land slide. >> neil: you think that is going to happen that he wins ohio? >> guest: if he wins ohio there is a land slide building. there is a debate going on most polls ippedicate the president is ahead there. but the romney people are arguing that they are missing this republican enthusiasm that has been animated by the great debate and a lot of work . if that is true, there wil

ohio, 50% for the president, 45% for mitt romney. that's outside the margin of error. >> other polls show it very close within the margin of error. i saw a poll right before the storm that had a tie there. but i'll tell you what's key, erin, to look at now. with just a few days left, and that is barack obama has not broken 50%. he's down in the 47, 48, has been for what, the better of two months now? he can't break that number, whether it's ohio or florida or virginia, colorado. and on election day, there's a couple of things that will matter. if you're undecided, they'll break for the challengers. so they'll break with the challengers. we have an amazing ground game. we're going to have our votes out there, the intensity is with us. all the fundamentals of this campaign are with mitt romney and that's because he's the best candidate out there with a great, great deal to offer american voters. >> thank you very much. appreciate your time. next, as much of the nation focuses on hurricane sandy, the candidates are increasing that focus

he's never led in a single poll there since he became a nominee. cnn has that in the obama category, but the president's lead has been shrinking and polls show president obama had been up as much 11 and 1 points over the summer and fall, but in a quinnipiac poll, he was only up by four. paul and ryan along with john avlon in toledo, ohio. romney has outspent the president in pennsylvania since he became the nominee. i saw this. i was stunned when our producer looked at these numbers. of the 15 million total, just in this week alone. is this money well spent? >> i think it makes a lot of sense for this reason. now, it's true that ohio might be a tighter state, but the question is, it's the marginal benefit. mitt romney spent a ton of time in ohio and if spending an additional few hours as we get closer to the election could make a big difference in pennsylvania given he has spent far less time in that state, that's what you've got to think about. real additional hours in ohio make that much of a difference there, where as in pennsylvania, it could b
